Japan's Nomura Q1 net profit jumps on strong domestic stock market

But the profit level is still subdued compared with Nomura's core pre-tax income target of 288 billion yen for the year to March 2025, a bullish goal for CEO Kentaro Okuda who has faced three years of profit declines since taking the top job in 2020. Inflows into its core investment trusts and alternatives pushed up assets under management to 76.1 trillion yen as of the end of June, up from 67.3 trillion yen three months ago.
